Sending that one full rack has proven successful for us, but that
was specialists with some experience, and it was road only. Every
time I see suitcases being thrown around in airports...well...


Baggage handlers have nothing on FedEX folks. They literally hurl packages into the truck like baseballs. I used to work for a major fullfillment company, and one afternoon we were in the IT office and we got to see first hand how FedEX loaded up the items they were shipping from one of our West Coast facilities. :)

Of course our packing / prep took this into account and so the items survived.
